Definitions
- the invention refers to an arrangement for sealing an open cavity against hot gas entrainment, wherein said open cavity being arranged between two axially adjacent stationary components limiting radially a hot gas path of a rotary flow machine, of which at least the downstream component carries at least one airfoil extending radially into said hot gas path, and a multitude of air jet is directed into said open cavity such that hot gas flowing over the open cavity is prevented from penetrating into the open cavity completely.
- Described in Patent Specifications GB 855 040 and U.S. Pat. No. 3,645,544 are sealing arrangements in which, in order to seal a gap against hot gas penetration, a secondary fluid is supplied into the gap in such a way that a vortex system forms in the gap.
- the sealing arrangements described in each case can be used only for gaps between two components where the components rotate relative to one another and the gaps in each case extend over the entire periphery.
- a further known arrangement for sealing a gap against hot gas penetration is disclosed in EP 1 347 153 B1 in which a vortex flow is generated by feeding additional air into the gap between two axially adjacent components each bordering at least partially the hot gas path of a gas turbine.
- a chamber is arranged in the longitudinal direction of the gap which is designed as a rotary chamber having a circular or elliptical cross section into which supply conduits merge through which air is injected approximately tangential relative to the vortex flow within the vortex chamber.
- the sealing function of the arrangement bases on the intense air vortex inside the gap which prevents the hot gas to enter the gap.
- WO2009/083456 A1 describes a gas turbine with cooling ports distributed around circumference through which cooling air is injected into the hot gas flow of the combustion chamber outlet.
- the cooling air ports are subdivided into a first group of cooling ports which corresponds to the arrangement of guide vanes and a second group which corresponds to the arrangement of the burners.
- EP 1 741 877 A1 describes a turbine thermal heat shield and a guide vane for a gas turbine with an open cavity between the two adjacent components.
- the heat shield element has in downstream direction a perpendicular bent wall with cooling bores ( FIG. 4 , FIG. 7 ). Between said perpendicular wall and the supporting structure of the combustion chamber with the heat shield is a residual gap arranged which allows a movement of the wall and a closing of the gap during operation.
- Document EP 0 902 164 A1 describes a platform cooling having a guide-blade platform which is subjected to a hot gas stream and is separated by a gap from a combustion chamber segment arranged upstream, one or more segment cooling bores being arranged in the combustion chamber segment.
- the segment cooling bores connect a cooling air chamber to the gap.
- the guide-blade platform has a surface on the downstream side in the region of the gap, the axes of the one or more segment cooling bores (multiple bores are arranged one after another in circumferential direction) running roughly tangentially to said surface. That means special geometric cavity features are required.
- the described platform cooling arrangement is advantageously used for gaps with widths of less than 5 mm, preferably less than 2 mm.
- FIG. 3 of EP 0 902 164 A1 is shown that the segment cooling bores and the platform cooling bores are arranged alternately so as to be staggered relative to one another along the circumference.
- An important aspect concerning the flow conditions in the region of an open cavity relates to the pressure conditions prevailing upstream to an airfoil which is impinged by the hot gas flow of the rotary flow machine.
- To prevent such hot gas entrainment directly upstream to the leading edge of the airfoil it is proposed to feed a multitude of air jets into said open cavity at a location close to the at least one airfoil.
- the at least one air jet is directed into the open cavity having a flow direction being in or in opposite flow direction of the axial hot gas flow and being inclined with respect to the axial hot gas flow direction by an angle ⁇ with 0° ⁇ 60°. Further the at least one air jet is directed within said open cavity into the open cavity having a distance h to the hot gas path which is about 5 mm to 100 mm depending on size and geometrical situation of the components bordering the open cavity.
- some hot gas will enter the open cavity with a penetration depth which is given by the location of at least one orifice of a supply conduit through which the at least one air jet emits into the open cavity. Since the air jet is inclined towards the penetrating hot gas the air jet enables the hot gas entrainment to start a vortex motion, i.e. the at least one air jet triggers the vortex motion of the hot gas penetrating into the open cavity.
- the vortex consisting mainly of hot gas is limited by two side walls of the axial adjacent arranged components bordering the open cavity and is further limited radially by the hot gas flow flowing over the open cavity and by the at least one air jet which is directed into the open cavity at a location having a given distance to the hot gas path.
- the inventive technique uses the hot gas itself as a blocking medium to prevent further entrainment of hot gas into the open cavity whereby the at least one air jet directed into the open gap serves as a trigger flow to enable the penetrated hot gas for conducting a vortex motion.
- the inventive idea is associated with the advantage that the amount of air to initiate a vortex motion within the hot gas entrainment is significantly less than the invested air amount for preventing hot gas entrainment using known technique as described before. This advantage further supports an increase of efficiency of operating a rotary flow machine since only a small amount of air have to be provided for the inventive sealing mechanism.
- Hot gas which enters the open cavity in an upstream region of the leading edge of an airfoil due to a local pressure rise is fluid dynamically forced to vortex motion within the upper region of the open cavity triggered by the at least one air jet and propagates spirally from the region of highest pressure in circumferential direction and leaves the open cavity circumferentially beside the airfoil.
- a further important aspect for creating the hot gas vortex concerns the air jet momentum by which the at least one air jet is directed into the cavity through a supply conduit passing through one of the two components which limit the open cavity.
- the hot gas flow has a flow velocity V between Mach 0.05 and Mach 0.5.
- the Mach number represents the ratio between the flow velocity and the speed of sound.
- the at least one air jet is directed into the open cavity having a flow velocity which is between Mach 0.1 and Mach 0.8.
- the at least one air jet is fed through a supply conduit merging into the open cavity which supply conduit has a diameter d between 0.4 mm and 3 mm.
- one of the two components bordering the open cavity axially provides a multitude of supply conduits so that a multitude of air jets enter the open cavity.
- the orifices of each of the supply conduits which are arranged at the side wall of one component bordering the open cavity axially are spatially distributed such that most of the single air jets enter the open cavity in a region which is axially and in circumferential direction close to the airfoil and the number of air jets getting smaller the further away the air jets being located in circumferential direction from the airfoil.
- a multitude of single air jets are grouped in one row which extends in circumferential direction along the side wall of one component.
- At least two orifices of each supply conduit are arranged side by side in circumferential direction along one row closing a mutual pitch p of the 2-fold till 20-fold diameter of the orifices of each of the supply conduits. Air jets from such a single row of supply conduits are sufficient to block hot gas entrainment into an open cavity, when the pitch (within said given range) is small, that means near the lower limit of said given range.
- more than one row are arranged at the side wall of one component, preferably up to five radial distributed rows of orifices of supply conduits wherein adjacent rows are in a staggered arrangement.
- the pitch can then be larger (near the upper limit of said given range).
- the open cavity provides an axial width w which is between 5 mm and 30 mm and further provides a circumferential extension which in case of a gas turbine arrangement extends annually around the hot gas path completely.
- the air saving is especially high when blocking hot gas entrainment into large axial cavity widths w of about ⁇ 30 mm.
- Another advantageous aspect of the invention concerns the simple design of the open cavity which has a cross-section in a plane along the flow axis of the rotary flow machine which is limited axially by two walls almost parallel and facing each other and opens toward the hot gas path. Further the at least one supply conduit merges into said open cavity at one of the two walls. To generate the hot gas vortex inside the open cavity no complex fluidic conducting element or contour is required.
- the open cavity have a cross section just in shape of a rectangular geometry.
- the edge region of the upstream component bordering the open cavity provides a collar like extension overlapping the open cavity partially.
- the edge region of the downstream component is designed aero-dynamically.
- the basic idea of the invention can be applied to rotary flow machines of any kind, preferably on a gas or steam turbo machine.
- the rotary flow machine is a turbine or a compressor of a gas turbine arrangement and the two axially adjacent stationary components are a heat shield segment and a vane or a sealing component being connected to the heat shield segment or the vane.
